BEST of PONDER on THIS for Tuesday, September 16th, 2008 by Jack Kornfield in A PATH WITH HEART
"How can we work with the pain of judging? If we try to get rid of it by saying, ‘Oh, I shouldn’t be judging,’ what is that? It’s just another judgment. Instead, acknowledge the judgment as it arises. Allow it to come and go. Sometimes it helps to give it a name. If your judgment reminds you of someone from the past try saying, ‘Thank you, Dad.’ ‘I appreciate your opinion on that, Carol.’ ‘Thanks for your opinion John.’ Judgments are simply a prerecorded tape that plays through the mind over and over again. Try to have a sense of humor about your judgments – this will keep them in perspective relative to the rest of your life."
